Abstract
The elemental analysis of Pt-Re/alumina catalysts was carried out by n ondestructive and bulk neutron activation analysis. Samples were irrad iated with a Am-241-Be source-based as well as accelerator-based therm al neutrons and induced activities were measured by a HPGe detector wi th a PC-based data acquisition and analysis system. An appropriate cal ibration technique was established for the determination of the respec tive ratios of each element present in the catalysts. The technique pr oved to be useful for the determination of low concentrations of Pt an d Re in the catalyst samples.
